#842 CloseResource Rule for Class level variable

[Arun Jain]

I was working on the piece of code in which I created a class level reference variable for Connection. I instantiated this connection in main method in my class. When I check the code with PMD it does not ask or does not show any warning to close the connection.

public class myclass{
private Connection conn;

public static void main(String[] arg){
//..............
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
//..............
}
}

PMDTest.java for example of above issue

Kindly find the attached file PMDTest.java. You need to change the database driver, url, username, password to connect elsewise also it will compile.
